Onto the Next Chapter!

Well last night was the hardest youth night Amanda and I have ever had.  When you know God’s will, and you know you’re doing the right thing, it’s hard to see the sometimes adverse affect that it can take.  Announcing we are stepping down as the youth pastors from CCC is 100% unquestionably God’s will […]

The Circle Maker 1

Well I read a ton yesterday and this morning.  I started off yesterday with a solid 90 minutes of 2 Kings and 1 Chronicles, then I wrote my message for Sunday night.  Sometimes it’s a real struggle to get the words of a message out, not yesterday.  I had clear direction of where I wanted […]

Onto the next challenge!

I heard someone quote a quote that stated that successful people read at least 4 books a month.  I don’t know about you, but I want to do what successful people do.  So since live dead is over (the book, not the living dead) I decided the next blog/life challenge I would undertake is reading […]

Live Dead: Day 30!

Well I did it!  I finished the 30-day challenge but I don’t think it ends here.  The principles in this book were just so valuable and challenging that I plan on continuing to wrestle with these issues until I arrive… In heaven, because as long as I’m here I’ll still be in process. The final […]

I Took a Real Vacation!

I cannot remember the last vacation I took.  I don’t mean I took a week off of work and used my vacation time, I mean took a real vacation.  Let me pause real quick and try to remember… After some thinking, and quick research, I believe the last real vacation Amanda and I took was […]

Live Dead: Day 29

I was going to finish this last week, but I took an unexpected surprise vacation, spiritual getaway, and wife date to Tahoe.  Barring Jesus’ return happening today or early tomorrow, day 30 will happen tomorrow, and I will actually finish what I have started. But today was about forgiveness and it hit on many of […]

Live Dead: Day 28

Today was about dying.  The whole concept of live dead is being willing to die, and going to people who may kill you because of faith in Jesus.  I don’t think I’m there yet, and I probably don’t need to be.  If someone were to randomly pull a gun on me, and force to deny […]

Live Dead: Day 27

Looks like I finish Live Dead this Thursday.  It only took 6 months to do 30 days… I have always loved sports.  Being part of a team was just a fun aspect of life for me growing up.  Now that I am all grown up and too out of shape to play a sport, I […]

Live Dead: Day 26

The weirdest testimony of faithfulness I’ve read: “As a result of her years of labor, a tribe of cannibals stopped eating their visitors, no longer killed twin babies, became believers in Jesus, and elevated her to the level of magistrate within their community.” I learned a lot of valuable lessons on submitting to authority as […]

Live Dead: Day 25

I failed today’s challenge as soon as I wrote this sentence…  the topic is humility, my best quality 🙂 The final issued challenge was to not reference yourself for a week.  No using “I”, “Me” or anything about myself.  Is that even possible.  As I reflected, I realized I am pretty self-centered (read all the […]
